Outstanding performance by Jennings. The most exciting and positive qb performance in bc in a long time. Strong game by Harris as well. Is Draheim that important to this team? Seems like it! Can't see anyone faulting Cortez' playcalling in this game. Special teams were inept. Missed fg and converts,...

Interesting stats, maxlion. The Lions brought along Lulay fairly quickly, in about 2 1/2 years, becoming the full-time starter. Of course Travis had NFL (signed by Seahawks 3 times and N.O.) and NFLE experience. Flutie was a 6-yr pro when he came to the CFL (and threw 73 Int's his first 3 reg. seas...

There has been lots of discussion on how the lions have handled the QBs this year, and specifically on whether or not Jennings should have been starting games sooner than he did. Out of interest, I looked up the starting QBs in the last 20 grey cup finals, and looked at how they developed. The data ...

Regarding Richie Leone's missed field goal and convert, that's what happens when you have a natural punter trying to learn how to place kick. It can happen to anyone. I wasn't crying too much when Paul McCallum mised from around the same spot in the WDF..... I'm not going to get down on Leone for t...

Disappointing that we lost in the final minutes, but good that we hung in until the end with a new qb against a top team. I thought that there were a couple of questionable calls against us that might have swunv things the other way, but oh well. That's football. Jennings played well. Strong accurat...

Where have we seen this before? Good teams find a way to win, bad teams find ways to lose.

Everything falling apart, but still clinging to a lead.

Here's a rundown of our first down plays through our first two series of Q4: Q1: run 0, run 0, run -1, run 8, pass 21, run 2, run -2 Q2: run -6, pass 24, pass 8, pass inc, pass inc, pass 7, run 1 (TD), pass 12, pass 28, pass inc Q3: run 6, pass inc, pass inc, run 1, pass 15 (TD) Q4: run 0, run 0 If...

d comes up big to end the half

I'm more excited about this game than I have been for a game in a while. Not expecting a win (though it would be nice), but looking forward to watching Jennings play. I still want to see McGhee get in some plays and keep the Eskimos guessing. Rainey is the most exciting player we've seen in a long t...

This has been true of every fanbase for every professional sport in history

Interesting signing. He wrote a book appropriately titled "Free Agent", does motivational speaking, and plays piano, drums, and viola.

What did Wally see in Printers, Wynn, Pierce, Jackson, Lulay and Reilly that they didn't see in Jennings? Why wasn't a journeyman ever brought in as insurance for Dickenson who was frequenty hurt? And it's not like Beck has Kevin Glenn's resumé in this league. It completely contradicted what the or...
